| Notes |
- Herman's brother, Harvey Stillman Greene, is my 2G grandfather. Harvey married Fidelia Balcom and her side of the family is well documented. The Greenes on the other hand have presented problems.
What is known about Samuel. He bought land from Holland Land Co. in 1838. He and several others attempted to establish a Free-will Baptist Society, with limited success. This reportedly caused some problems with the mostly Methodist family members. Census records of his children show that he was born in Vermont.
Have had reports that Samuel commited suicide following some marital indiscretion. (? his or his wife's). Have been unable to document this at all. His wife Elinor Ferguson is not the Elinor Sutton that some online info shows. Military records of her sons report her last name as Ferguson.
Other issues about Samuel. Family lore says that Samuel's initial property was in Silver Creek, Chautauqua Co. Supposedly this is the grape farm that ended up as his son Lafe's farm. Can't prove (or disprove) this. Family research done by Harvey's son Clayton, and granddaughter Ruth & Clarice, reported that church history indicated that Samuel was called Jr. and Samuel F was called Sr, to differentiate them by age, but that they were not related. Clayton remembered that their[sic] was a cousin or brother of Samuel's named Charles. It appears that there was also some relationship to Belinus Green in Chautauqua Co., as Elinor lived in or near that family after Samuel's death, and the children were reportedly raised together with this family--only proof of this is census records. She is also reported to spend several months with each of her children, once they were grown. The census records seem to support this gossip. {This Samuel Greene has been confused with a Samuel who was born in 1803 and died on 10-17-1846. He married Elinor Peleg and both are buried in Sterling, CT}
Samuel & Elinor Ferguson Greene's children included:
Clark who was born in 1833 & died at 19. He served as father to his younger siblings, but was thought to have been frail with some sort of respiratory problems. Lafe (Marcus Lafayette) who had the grape farm in Silver Creek. His family was unhappy with his second marriage. Harvey S. sold his interest in family farm to Lafe and moved his family to Michigan in abt 1865. By 1868 the family was back in Mansfield, NY on land next door to brother Heman (or Herman). Martha, who was born in 1843 went to live at an early age with Leyman & Sarah Newton. This couple was known to be related, but don't know how. Ruth born 1845 married Elijah Thomas. According to family letters they lived in Forestville, NY, and were frequent hosts of Elinor. The Thomases must have been fairly successful, as they reportedly assisted other family members. Daniel--have 2 conflicting pieces on him. One says that he died at age 7. The other says he was the father of Daniel who was a carpenter in Erie Co., NY.
Mary E was born after Samuel's death. She was reported spoiled by the rest of the family, and her death at age 8, was difficult.
Most of the online info on Harvey Stillman & Fidelia Balcom Greene is based on the 1870 census which had errors.
Have a page from Fidelia's Bible and it records the following children:
Unnamed infant born Aug 5 & died Aug 22 1863; Rev. Bert Stillman (my Ggrandfather) b. 22 Jun 1864 d 23 Nov 1929; Carrie L b 12 Apr 1866 d. 19 Sep 1912; Elmer Adele b 12 Feb 1869 d 29 Dec 1929; Clayton C b 20 Jun 1870 d 1952; Jessie May b 2 Apr 1872 d 1959. Have much info and some photos of this family.
As far as Heman/Herman info goes: his nephews referred to him as Uncle Herman, but most doc't shows him as Heman. His injuries and Harvey's asthma led to their partnership on a farm between Otto & Mansfield, NY. Both lost their interest in the family farm to Lafe.
Biggest questions:
Who were the parents of Samuel & Elinor. Most support that Samuel F. Green was Samuel Jr.'s father as they attended the same church and were buried next to each other at West Hill Cemetery in Mansfield. (By the way, family lore reports that Elinor had Samuel's remains moved to a cemetery in Chautauqua to be nearer to her family.) Early family researchers were adament that these two were not related, and no doc't shows that they were father and son. No birth records can be found, and as they were Free-will Baptist, no childhood baptism records. Have not been able to locate the church records from the Baptist church in Mansfield they both attended. The church disbanded abt 1848. Samuel Jr had a brother Heman who was also a member of the church. (I'm related to Lavina Sackett's, the one that many claim is Samuel's mom; family on my Ggrandmother's side of the family, and know that the link to this marriage is also fragil, and hasn't been proven either.)
Most people report that Elinor was born in Schoharie, NY. Family lore reports that she came from New Jersey.
Of course there is the usual Greene claim to ancestory with Gen. Nathaniel Greene, but ours was that Samuel was descended from an uncle of Nathaniel. No one could ever prove this.
How did Stillman's fit into this family. It is the middle name in at least 3 generations. Could it be Samuel or Elinor's mother?
Who was Elinor's brother, who is referred to in the Chautauqua area, but never mentioned by name?
How do Belinus, Stephen, & Charles fit into this family? Was Lafe's farm the one originally bought by Belinus?
Good luck with your research,
Brenda

RELIGIOUS SOCIETIES;
About 1840 a Free-Will Baptist society was formed in the eastern part of the town, holding its meetings in the school-house, on lot 6. Among other members were Samuel and Heman GREEN, and George BABCOCK, the latter being a local preacher. Rev. Joseph DAVIS occasionally preached here. The loss of members by removal caused the society to disband in eight or ten years.
